Open AccessA simple optimization approach for improving target dose homogeneity in intensity-modulated radiotherapy for sinonasal cancer
Homogeneous target dose distribution in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for sinonasal cancer (SNC) is challenging to achieve. To solve this problem, we established and evaluated a basal-dose-compensati...
